I'm truly impressed with the device, and it should be pretty cheap to build, considering. I believe they have some real engineers there. And they have a one-acre pilot plant running, hope to get 180,000 gallons/year out of it. And projecting a production cost of $25/bbl, too, for vegetable oil. If they even come close to meeting it will be a very fine thing.
